My English teacher is great.She is only willing to help people who actually put effort in and who ask questions. If she can see your falling asleep she won't talk to you until you ackowledge she's there.

Maths 2 and 3 unit: i've had her since year 8, thought she was scary then, but is actually a REALLY good teacher, and more than willing to help.
English: Good teacher but unfortunately has to deal with half a class of dumbasses while the rest of us get on with our work.
Ancient History: see English
Physics: Going deaf and blind, and likes telling us to "lock that into our computers". Also explains things very strangely and confuses everyone. Basically my class is teaching ourselves
Legal Studies: absolute champ of a teacher. She'll go out of her way to help us, and knows the whole thing really well

Heres what my teachers are like:

English: Doesnt know what shes talking about. Seems to have a habit of misenterpreting what a text is about . . .

Maths: Good teacher who knows everything about subject and is prepared to help you till the cows come home.

Chemistry: Teacher just reads from a textbook all lesson, and she cant even do that right. She misspronounces and doesnt have a clue as to what a whole lot of common words mean such as algebra :rolleyes:

IPT/History: Teachers just tells us to do questions from textbook all lesson, and dont really know what their on about.
lol sounds a bit like my teachers, so yeah some were good and some weren't so good

But the eccentric teachers are the best ones. They tend to love their job and be fascinated by the subject.

2u english - v v good teacher, knows what she's talking about and really pins down exactly what we need to do to get good marks
3u english - eccentric, I think you have to appreciate her style to really get anything out of her classes
4u - same teacher
ancient - she is absolutely my favourite teacher, she has been so kind to me and I absolutely adore the woman, even though she's a slavedriver :rolleyes: I feel guilty though because I don't particularly enjoy the subject
modern - she's a very good teacher, but to be honest I can't comment much because I don't get to be in the classes much cuz of timetable clashes
drama - the man hates me, I don't particularly like him either... as far as teaching goes hes pretty good
legal - very dedicated teacher and very nice man
photography - haha this is the newest deputy who I couldn't stand when she first came to the school, but she's actually a fucking legend

I'm pretty pleased :)

English : She's a good teacher, but she's too dramatic! It's funny though, cos the guys in my class make fun of her and tell her she should have done drama.

Maths : She's okay, but she tells us we are stupid indirectly. :p (I'm in the bottom 3 unit class)

Economics : She's a pretty good teacher and she gives us chocolate and lollies. But she tends to ramble a bit.

Modern History : I don't really like her because she just rambles on and she makes the lessons boring.

French :My favourite subject! I love French because my French teacher makes the lessons fun. We play games to learn the vocab. and she rewards us with lollies. She's inviting the entire french class to her place in the holidays for lunch. :p

i just realised all of my teachers are women.
all my teachers are men actually ( cept 4 1 woman) normally i have 1/2 1/2 ( as in yrs 9 and 10) but this year ( 11, and we keep the same teachers for year 12) they r like meainly men

most of my teachers are good,one teacher go's on and on and we don't actually learn much.
my english teacher is brillant because she teachers us in detail.
history is a bit of a bludge, but i'm naturally good at history, so it dosen't affect me too much:)

modern history: bit boring at times but still a good teacher

history extention: she's really nice. problem is that i barely have her as we only have two extenstion classes a week and that the class is next door.

business studies: just crap ! makes us copy out of the textbook the whole lesson and if it's not the textbook it's the overhead = = ;; i heard she sticks a label on her cabnet saying boring studies and i wouldn't blame her because she does make the subject boring. i miss my old teacher heaps ..

maths: don't get me started ..

religion: shes as least bearable now. better then last year as i almost wanted to kill myself knowing that i had to go to her class.

english: yeah shes a good teacher and discussions in her class are fun !

I have a good english teacher, which I feel fortunate since english is my weakest subject. My econonmics teacher is great, he teaches and is very enthusiastic with it, he's also my tutor. My maths and chemistry teachers are alright, physics is pretty good as well. Overall I'm pretty content with my teachers.

most of my teachers are pretty great. 4u maths teacher is pretty bad but she's a really nice person so its hard to be pissed off at her. 3u maths teacher is fantastic at explaining, really nice - one of my fave teachers. english teacher is good as well and she alway brings in food for us :) my physics teacher isn't that great at teaching but our lessons are always fun since he has the sense of humour of a nine year old (in one lesson he glued all the whiteboard markers to the whiteboard with superglue to piss off the other sci teachers) and is really into physics.

so im pretty happy with my teachers....theyre more like friends for us by now. the only let down is 4u maths.
